102. A Chemical Perspective. Designed for non-science students. After a coverage of basic principles, a case study approach is used to examine societal problems caused, influenced, or solved by chemistry. Back ground information and rationale are dis cussed as well as the chemistry involved. Specific topics will vary from year to year depending on the interests of students and staff. The laboratory emphasizes the scien tific approach with experiments using con sumer products. Lecture/laboratory. Stu dents who have credit for Chemistry 121 or 122 may not take 102 for credit. Students who have credit for 102 may not take 121 for credit. Offered in fall and spring semes ter. Mr. Haug 121,122. General Chemistry. A study of the fundamental concepts, laws, and theo ries of chemistry, and the preparation and properties of the common elements and their compounds. The laboratory work il lustrates fundamental principles; during the first semester it is semiquantitative in nature and the second semester has both semiquantitative experiments and qualita tive analysis. Lecture/laboratory. 121 of fered in fall semester; 122 offered in spring semester. Ms. Follweiler 125. Accelerated General Chemistry I. For students with a strong secondary school background in chemistry, mathe matics, and physics. A review of basic principles with an emphasis on stoichiom- etry is given, followed by an accelerated treatment of kinetics, equilibrium, thermo dynamics, and electrochemistry. The labo ratory portion of the course emphasizes quantitative laboratory techniques. Credit will not be given for both Chemistry 125 and 122. Chemistry majors and other stu dents requiring a year of general chemis try must complete Chemistry 213 after Chemistry 125. Prerequisites: one year of high school chemistry (two years recom mended), two years of high school algebra (must include logarithms), one year of high school physics. Lecture/quiz/semi nar/laboratory. Offered in fall semester. Mr. Layman, Ms. Walters CHEMISTRY 212. Inorganic Chemistry I: Structure and Bonding. Introduces students to the theories of atomic structure and chemical bonding in main-group, transition-metal, and solid-state compounds and in con densed phases. Serves as an advanced chemistry elective for Biochemistry ma jors. Prerequisite: Chemistry 122. Lecture. Offered in spring semester. Mr. Barber 213. Inorganic Chemistry I: Structure and Bonding (with laboratory). Same as Chemistry 212 plus one three-hour labora tory per week, which includes experience in the synthesis, purification, and charac terization (infrared and electronic spectroscopy, magnetic susceptibility, conduc tivity, thermal analysis, and x-ray powder diffraction) of inorganic compounds. Pre requisite: Chemistry 122 or 125. Lecture/ laboratory. Offered in spring semester. Mr. Barber 221, 222. Organic Chemistry I and II. General aspects of organic chemistry in cluding nomenclature, structure, reac tions, synthesis, and spectroscopy are sur veyed. This course is intended to prepare students for a career in chemistry or bio chemistry, as well as the medical and engi neering professions. Prerequisite: Chemis try 122 or 213 for Chemistry 221; Chemis try 221 for Chemistry 222. Lecture/labo ratory. 221 offered in fall semester; 222 of fered in spring semester.

A thorough study of the fundamental techniques and theoretical background of classical volu metric and gravimetric analysis together with some instrumental analytical meth ods such as colorimetry, potentiometry, and separation techniques. Prerequisite: Chemistry 122 or 213. Lecture/quiz/labo ratory. Offered in fall semester. Mr. Sherma 252, Environmental Chemistry. This course discusses the chemical principles underlying natural processes and the ways in which human activity affects those processes. Sources, sinks, and inter actions of important environmental com-
CHEMISTRY pounds are investigated. Offered in fall semester. Prerequisite: Chemistry 121 or 125. Mr. Barber 311. Elementary Physical Chemistry.
